"Currently, Mbeya and Dar es Salaam were the primary research and development centers for internal-combustion tractors. Because Harare lay deep inland, it was still relatively weak in cultivating technical talent, and this was also unfavorable for academic exchanges. Therefore, if central cities such as Harare wanted to make innovations in education in the future, they had to develop both external and internal channels," Minister of Education Adelichi told Ernst.
East Africa's cutting-edge technologies were now being vigorously pushed inland. As a late-developing nation, most of East Africa's knowledge had been "imported goods," and its system for cultivating local talent was still incomplete.

Harare, meanwhile, lay too deep in the interior and had a shorter history. Although its industry was developing at breakneck speed and its scale had already surpassed Mbeya's, it lagged far behind eastern cities such as Mbeya in cutting-edge technology, scientific research, and education.
"Harare is not actually that far from the sea. It was only because Mozambique had previously been in Portuguese hands. Now that Mozambique has been incorporated into East Africa, we must open up Harare's fastest route to the outside world, thereby driving the pace of development in the central cities, especially in high-end industries," Minister of Transportation Liu Yideweil said.
